NOTElWhen the engine coolant temperature rises
to a certain level, the air selection is auto-
matically switched to the recirculation posi- tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on.
At this time, the system will not switch to the outside position even if the air selection
switch is pressed.Customizing the air selection

Functions can be changed as desired, as sta-
ted below.
l Enable automatic air control
When the AUTO switch is pressed, the
air selection switch is also controlled au- tomatically.
l Disable automatic air control
Even when the AUTO switch is pressed, the air selection switch is not controlled
automatically.
l Setting change method
Hold down the air selection switch for approximately 10 seconds or more. • When the setting is changed from ena-
ble to disable
3 sounds are emitted and the indica- tion lamp flashes 3 times.
• When the setting is changed from dis-
able to enable
2 sounds are emitted and the indica- tion lamp flashes 3 times.NOTEl The factory setting is “Enable automatic air
control.”
l When the demister switch is pressed, in or-
der to prevent misting of the windows the
ventilator automatically switches to outside air even if “Disable automatic air control” is set.AUTO switch

NOTElFor vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system and pre- vent the engine from automatically stoppingbefore the battery is sufficiently charged.Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.
7. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order and keep
the engine running for several minutes.
NOTEl If the vehicle is put in motion without fully
charging the battery, it might cause the loss
of the smooth engine operation and the anti- lock brake warning lamp to illuminate.
Refer to “Anti-lock brake system (ABS)” on
page 6-56.Engine overheating
E00800604117
When the engine is overheating, “” will
blink.
If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.
[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the
bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.
[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.
WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.WARNINGl Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (A) is turn-
ing.
[If the cooling fan is turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn- ing has gone off, stop the engine.
[If the cooling fan is not turning]

NOTE•On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will
increase due to a little fuel getting mixed
in the engine oil when the DPF regener- ates to burn away the PM (particulate
matter). However, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
• The engine oil level will be increased due
to an amount of the fuel being mixed in
the engine oil when the DPF regenerates
to burn away the PM (particulate matter). It does not indicate a malfunction.
In the following conditions, the engine oil level may increase easily. We recommendyou to have it checked frequently.
•frequent driving at uphill and down-
hill
• frequent driving at high altitudes
• frequent and extended idling
• frequent driving through a traffic
jam
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re- quiring earlier oil replacement. Please refer
to the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 2-06.Selection of engine oil
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available, con- tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503509
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
Engine coolant
10-06OKTE18E1Maintenance10
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra- diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.
Washer fluid
E01000702113
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000902131
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will ad- versely affect the brake system, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equip-
ped with a special cap to prevent the entrance
of air, and this cap should not be removed.
WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flushimmediately with clean water. Follow up
with a doctor as necessary.
